I had to rebuild my development server because of a small meltdown. Anyways fresh 2016 install with IIS. I created a new site and am trying to bind to port 443 and for some reason IIS stopping web site and says port is in use. It is not in use the only other site is the default web site and I turned it off.
The site has a unique host header -- domain.com
in binding select add
input the host header and change the port from 80 to 443
add binding and the website is stopped, try to start it and I get IIS error port in use.
I have done this before without incident I have no idea why this is happening any help would be appreciated
-----------------EDIT-----------------
I was in a hurry when I posted this question (Lunch) and left out a piece of information. There is one more site on the server and it's configured to use PHP (first time using php on IIS)it is bound on just port 80 in IIS. sorry for the lack of information.
alvits --- sent me in the right direction....
when you add the binding for ssl you have to change the type to https. I didn't change the type leaving it http and just changing the port 443 this will not work. Another half a day wasted because I'm a noob.
